dissapointing summer holiday

Advantages: hot sunny weather, spotlessly clean
Disadvantages: food, entertainment, basic rooms/facilities

We've just come back from a week at this hotel, and I must say it was very disappointing. The rooms were very basic, although they were well cleaned, and in good condition (we were staying in the second block at the back, which I think is relatively new, so it should have been in good condition really). We were half board, and for the first couple of days the food on offer was just about ok, but then we realised there was nothing new on offer, and ...
...only warm, and the best food on offer was the salads. There is also a restaurant, which costs extra to eat in. We went twice, and it was empty apart from us both times. Unfortunately the second time we went, within hours we were ill, and spent the last full day of our holiday in our room unable to move! There was half an hour of entertainment each evening, which itself was good, but it was only 30 minutes, and at half past ten, they start clearing ...

Review of Flamenco Beach and Resort, El Quseir

THE MOST RETURN VISITED HOTEL IN THE HILTON GROUP

Advantages: GREAT LOCATION AT A GREAT PRICE FOR AN AI
Disadvantages: OUT OF THE WAY

...Out of all the hilton hotels in the world,Coral hilton @ Nuweiba is the one that has the most returns to! Its 1/2 way between Taba/Sharm on the Aqaba cost. Overlooking a private beach on the red sea. The hotel is 4* AI with recently refurbished rooms. With the Sinai mountains behind you, and looking at the mountains of Saudi across the red sea, its a wonderful & beautiful location to wake up in with wonderful sunrises & sunsets. The staff are all ...
...(Great firm on the web - guarantee to beat high street travel agents). Not bad for a 4* Hilton (Should be 5). I paid more for a3* to El Gouna in May last year - last minute deal. Not comparison. Get booking!!! Enjoy ...

Review of Hilton Nuweiba Coral Resort, Nuweiba

The Amazing Three Corners!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing at all!!

...2 weeks and it was the best holiday we have ever had. It was our first time to Egypt and were so excited, we were not let down when we arrived. When we booked it Taba Heights was still an up and coming area and apparently it now has a huge golf course and a shopping area. When we were there there were only 4 hotels including ours. This hotel was amazing, it was really upmarket. The rooms were fantastic, we had a mountain view and the scenery of the ...
...was the best AI we have experienced. Food great especially the Sushi on theme nights. The beach was just amazing, you could see Saudi Arabia, Israel and Jordan from the Beach and these views were beautiful. We spent most of our time at the beach as the pool got quite crowded. You do have to pay for food and drinks at the beach but it is quite cheap. There wasnt much entertainment at nights but we met some wonderful people (2 of which we still keep ...

Review of The Three Corners El Wekala Golf Resort, Taba

Another day in taba heights

Advantages: Temperature, Swimming pool, gorgeous beach, cheap
Disadvantages: Food, constant badgering, flight and airline

...flew from Manchester direct to Taba International which is about 30-45mins away from the resort. The flight on the way out was at 1.55pm on a Monday, which is the only day and time you can fly out there. From Manchester there is only one tour operator who provide holidays to this particular part of Egypt called \'Peltours\', and the airline is \'Astreus\', a fairly new airline, and also a very small one. This particular airline have very small planes, ...
...When we arrived at Taba we were shown exactly where to go, the Egyptian tour operator was very helpful, but it was a mad rush at the airport, as it is very small, and the tour operators wanted you to buy a visa at the airport for those that wanted to go on trips to Cairo or to Israel. (They tell you that you have to buy these at the airport, it simply isnt true the Marriott can supply these if you need them, so need to queue for hours on end on arrival). ...

Review of Taba Heights Marriott Beach Resort, South Sinai

Movenpick Spa Resort - Swiss Hospitality

Advantages: Clean, Tidy, lots of choice
Disadvantages: No t-shirts in the pool, beach not so good

This hotel is very clean and tidy and very professionally run. All of the staff were friendly, helpful and nothing seemed too much trouble for any of them. They all made an effort to speak with the children and made us all feel welcome. Although the hotel was fully booked we never really felt as though we were packed in. The hotel and it's grounds are very spacious. There are numerous restaurants on site all with a very good choice and high standard ...
...on site. There are serval pools too, one is a noisy pool where children can play volleyball and generally make a noise and there is another that is a quiet pool where children are encouraged to been seen and not heard. One thing though, children (or anyone for that matter) are not allowed to wear a t-shirt in the pool. So make sure you take high factor sun protection. There is also a childrens play area (away from the pool), a kids club, tennis ...
